SGH CONCEPTS & DRI-DESIGN COMPETITION WINNERS!

SGH CONCEPTS & DRI-DESIGN COMPETITION WINNERS!

The College of Architecture, in partnership with SGH Concepts and Dri-Design, has established a student scholarship competition for the fourth-year undergraduate architectural design studios. Several fourth-year studios competed in the SGH Concept and Dri-Design competition. These scholarships recognize student projects that exemplify outstanding design investigation, resolution and significance. The jury awarded these well-deserved accolades to the following students:

Award: Excellence
“Oldfather Hall”
E.G.T. and Brandy Nguyen
Notes: The jury celebrates the project’s sophisticated design strategies of subtraction and reinvention. By carefully bringing new life to the existing building, the project renders old outdated spaces anew.

Award: Honor Award
“Low-Rise LNK”
By Luryn Hendrickson and Haley Herman
Notes: The jury applauds the varying scales of design and planning, from the urban condition of housing to the material resolution of the buildings and the exterior spaces—and the use of the two CLT’s. The models and interior images successfully communicated the project’s design intent and craft.

Award: Merit
“The Mind Center”
By Landon Healy and Luke Heidenreich
Notes: The jury commends the thoughtful aptitude for shaping the urban setting, massing and systems integration.

Award: Merit
“Benson Box”
By Nico Forte and Devyn Beekman
Notes: The jury values the combination of programs and activities—the mixer, with a sensibility to integrated systems and natural light.

Award: Citation
“Please Touch the Art”
By Grace Carlson, Clara Hetherington and Sidney Renelt
Notes: The project successfully creates amenable spaces, particularly the sunken courtyard and studios.

We would like to thank our jurors Elyse Agnello, founding principle at DAAM, cofounder of Guild Row; Marcelo López-Dinardi, assistant professor in the Department of Architecture at Texas A&M University; and Todd Walker founding partner and partner-in-charge of design at archimania for spending the day with us, offering the benefit of their experience and expertise.
